Here’s what’s happened recently with The Legend of Zelda live-action movie and Link’s look.
- First official photos reveal Link and Zelda in costumes on location, with Link in a Twilight Princess–inspired tunic and Zelda in a Breath of the Wild–style outfit. This is Nintendo’s early confirmation of casting and design direction.[4][5]
- Filming has been underway in New Zealand, and the photos come as production officially begins, following earlier on-set leaks.[2][5]
- Leaks and subsequent set photos have driven fan discussion about tone and source material, with speculation that Breath of the Wild and Twilight Princess aesthetics are influencing the film’s look.[3][4]
